Question
To ask the Scottish Executive when it expects the report of the Local Government Finance Review Committee to be published.
Answer
I understand that the committeeis making its report public today. I am gratefulto Sir Peter Burt for leading the review and to Professor John Baillie, Peter Danielsand Dr Janet Lowe for all their hard work over the past two years.
This is a substantive and substantialpiece of work and merits careful consideration by the Executive, the Parliament,local authorities and the wider Scottish public. I hope this comprehensive reportcan be a catalyst for an informed and constructive debate on the future of localtaxation in Scotland.
